"Don’t overthink it, my brother naturally only has my sister-in-law and my nephew in his heart. I just feel like she’s still thinking about my brother." Xu Nianhua explained, still needing to preserve her brother’s reputation, especially since her brother really doesn’t have any other intentions.
"Your brother is married, is it not allowed for someone to still think about him?" Ji Shuyuan laughed out loud.
"What if the person intentionally gets close?" Xu Nianhua countered.
"Impossible." Ji Shuyuan replied without hesitation, then added, "What kind of woman would be so shameless?"
Xu Nianhua silently said nothing, thinking to herself—this counts as shameless?
Well, there are people even more shameless.
"By the way, Shuyuan brother, I have something to ask you." Xu Nianhua began, but Ma Zhijun greeted and went out.
"Why do I feel like he’s not just driving deliveries with Nianji?" Ji Shuyuan stared at Ma Zhijun’s departing silhouette, having felt something odd before and not thinking much about it, but now seeing Xu Nianhua chatting alone with Ma Zhijun, the feeling grew stronger.
"Is that so?" Xu Nianhua touched her nose nervously.
"Nianhua, is there something you’re still hiding from us?" Ji Shuyuan composed himself and said seriously, "Do you really think Nianji’s incident was just a coincidence? And Ma Zhijun, he’s probably protecting Nianji, isn’t he?"
"Shuyuan brother, you really think too much."
Xu Nianhua laughed it off, trying to divert the topic: "Have some watermelon; it’s especially sweet and sandy."
Ji Shuyuan didn’t even glance at the watermelon, instead giving Nianhua a meaningful look, "Nianhua, even though I’m just your cousin, to me, you’re like my own sister. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to ask."
"Thank you, Shuyuan brother. If I need something, I definitely won’t be shy about asking." Xu Nianhua smiled lightly; she would never disclose her biggest secret of reincarnation to anyone.
Xu Nianhua changed the subject, asking, "By the way, Shuyuan brother, are there any updates from the Gu Family?"
"Not for now, but I saw Gu Mingcheng return, and Gu Mingzhu spends most of her time running between the Gu Family and Jiang Family. Speaking of them, I actually met Jiang Jing once." Ji Shuyuan said.
Xu Nianhua asked eagerly, "You know him?"
"Not really. I just feel he’s quite kind-hearted; once, our school organized a volunteer activity, and I happened to see him a lot of items to the orphanage." Ji Shuyuan explained, it was just a brief encounter.
Xu Nianhua lowered her eyes, trying hard to recall past events. Jiang Jing and Gu Mingzhu ended up divorced, but it was because of the child. However, Jiang Jing looked like he loved Gu Mingzhu a lot, so why would he divorce just because there was an issue with the child?
Xu Nianhua couldn’t figure it out.
"Su Xi, you came too?" Pei Yining seemed especially surprised upon seeing Su Xi.
Su Xi looked at the exhibition center bustling with people and glanced at her sidelong, saying, "You don’t want me to come? Then I’ll just go back."
During the past few days when entertaining Wen Na’s family, Pei Yining inadvertently mentioned a few times that she had taken photos of Nianhua and then participated in a photography competition.
"However, I’m not here for you, I’m here for Nianhua’s photos."
Pei Yining boasted with pride, "I took those too, they’ll definitely amaze you!"
"Really?" Su Xi responded uncertainly, "Nianhua is naturally beautiful and looks good no matter how she’s photographed."
